Having worked the polls: if you are in line to vote, you get to vote. The cops do not have any grounds to order you to leave your polling location because it’s “too late”. That is a violation of your rights as a citizen. The correct response is “make me; and if you do, I’ll have your fucking job, officer”.

When the pill workers go home and lock up, what am I supposed to do, break in and turn the machines back on?
The poll workers should have protested, the potential voters couldn’t do shit.

We are not supposed to go home until the fucking vote is finished. When you sign up, it’s made clear that you work until it’s done.

We’re also not supposed to have a felon for president in the first place, he shouldn’t have been eligible to even run for office. But here we are, guess you poll workers didn’t protest that either huh?
You can’t sit and blame people that didn’t vote when the poll workers fucking allowed it to happen.

Sigh. Yeah you’ve got a point. This fucking timeline, man.
